Hearing and Balance

Hearing loss is a problem shared by many people of all ages and is one of the most common health problems reported. Hearing loss may occur suddenly but is usually a gradual process that occurs over time. This may be hereditary, or it may be caused by physical changes within the ear due to disease, infection or injury.

Having trouble with balance or dizziness may lead to falls, which can cause serious injuries if left untreated.

Issues with hearing and balance can negatively affect your quality of life, and you don’t have to learn to live with these problems.

In the ENT (ear, nose and throat) Clinic at UAMS, we have hearing and balance specialists who treat diseases of the ear and skull base. We can help with the following issues:

We also work with the physical and occupationals therapists to ensure that you’ll have a full recovery.

The three friends, who met on a myeloma Facebook page five years ago, are part of a group of nearly a dozen Florida-based myeloma patients and caregivers who share a strong friendship and gather regularly to support and fellowship with one another.

After pursuing treatments at several other medical facilities, Sergio and Blanca followed their friend's advice in 2017 and sought treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center. Today, under the care of Dr. Frits van Rhee, Sergio has been in stringent, complete remission for a year. His scans before and after treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center speak volumes!

"If they wouldn't have come when they did, he probably wouldn't be here today," Gail said recently. ... See MoreSee Less
